Hi all;
The Backyard Buddie is fine for some uses. It is a ramp type lift and you
must always work over and around the ramp. A real pain! If you need to be
able to move the lift for some reason, it'll work for that.
A much better choice is an asymetrical type lift. Avoid the hump between
the
two posts on the floor, get the overhead version, which gives you clear
access under the car for trans jacks. I just had a flier for one mfg, and
they offer a 10' verson for shops with less than 12' cielings, which is
normal for most shops. You can get vertical extensions so the armswill
reach
truck frames and such. Having used this type for too many years
professionaly, it's the only way to go. The asymetrical arms allow you to
open the doors with the lift part way up, making it eaiser to work on the
interior and doors in some cases. Most I've seen in the $2700. range are
all
you'll need for hobby work.
See ya in Battle Creek, Ray

Subject: RE: Car Lifts
Doug, I have 2 Autolifter lifts in my garage. I recommend them highly.
The people are very helpful & cooperative. When I bought the lifts about 7
years ago, the price was also better than any competitor. I have no
problem
raising my 300D convertible with the 110v packwge. the only benefit of
220v
is that it will raise the vehicle faster. I recommend purchasing the drip
trays, jack bridge & casters (if you intend to move the lift around).
Also,
make sure your ceiling is high enough to accomodate a car in the raised
position. Be prepared when you take delivery to have some strong friends
available to remove the lift from the truck. It comes in one
package that is very heavy. It's not that hard to assemble. Larry

car lifts? I'm looking at Lifts Unlimited Perfect Park 7000, Eagle

Terry, the easyest way to test is to swap with a known good one. You could
moniter the voltage weith a volt meter, but swaping either fixes it or it
won't.

Subject: RE: Car Lifts
The asymetrical lift does have some advantages as Ray says. There are
disadvantages also. The posts must be attached to the floor. Since only 2
posts support the weight of the lift & car, a hi-pressure concrete floor
is
a must. Also, I've been tpol that it's not a good idea to store a car on
lift because the suspension may be damaged if the tires are left to
dangle.
I ordered an asymetrical lift when I got my 4-post, but than exchangwd it
for another 4-post which better suits my purposes. Larry
